I agree we are very fortunate compared to most of the world, but that does not mean I can't criticize government actions.


That is one of the major reasons that we are better than the others.

Not sure where these Commies get educated, but I'd guess Ivy League indoctrination:


This one's like Biden buying an ocean front estate and peddling global warming at the same time.

Their ethical racial wires are crossed too [coincidence?].








This Commie has more of an ego than I thought:

He best get it under control before he takes money from red NYC citizens.

1. Mayors don't get federal security clearances. Not even sure what point you are making with this one. That is like saying, "My local SWAT team captain arrested an international drug dealer and doesn't have a federal security clearance.". It's just not a thing.
2. So one of his employees has a wealthy mother in Tennessee? Okay? Even if it was Mandami's mother who cares. But, it's the mother of some random employee? I don't even understand the criticism here? How dare one of his employees have a rich mother and move to TN?

The next Trick in Trump's trick bag:


Walz tried to defend the fraud, but it was too much for him so he's stepping down.

ICE / DHS shooting in Mineapolis.

A breaking story: I watched how both Fox and CNN are reporting it: as always it's night and day, each slanting it as always.

Are you really this CLUELESS????

The statement "Mayors don't get federal security clearances" is generally false, as many mayors, especially of large cities, do receive federal security clearances (often Top Secret) for access to critical national security info affecting their cities, though it's not automatic and requires vetting.

If you didn't rely on MS NOW for your news you would understand why this is relevant.

Granted I just tuned in to see what was happening, but no one from the right has said if she's white, brown, black or an illegal. I find this confusing as the scapegoating hasn't started.

I know between the two of us who has had more years with a security clearance, so I'm not going to debate.

And, no I don't care that some random employee on his staff has a rich mom in another state.

Of all the criticisms that don't matter, these don't matter the most.

NYC former Mayor deBlasio didn't have security clearance for most of his first term, because he didn't apply for it.
